It only takes one regional pilot, ONE, to kill the entire deal.
Mesabah,
What if proposed as a "take it or leave it" deal, open to a vote?
Merger protocol encourages pilots to reach a consensus on SLI as part of a JPWA.
IMHO it would be better if labor could get it's stuff together and then go to management instead of the current situation where management says "we're merging ... you children figure out who gets what corner of the sandbox."
